Mayweather right now is a bigger draw than Oscar ever was.

I will have to disagree...

I can't stand the guy but nobody in recent time that was below HW was more of a PPV draw then Oscar was...

And, you also have to remember. Because, you want to compare Floyd-Shane to Tito-Oscar. Just think what does Floyd-Shane have that Tito-Oscar didn't?

[nujabes77]

if mayweather fights pac and a couple more then he will probably outdo oscar

[jrosales13]

People watched Oscar because they liked him & wanted to see him do well. Most people watch Floyd in the hope he's going to get put on his ass & get his mouth broke ! Just the way it is my friend.

Everytime I saw Oscar after the Chicanito fight. Was to see Oscar get his ass whooped. Hell I bought the World awaits to see Floyd whoop Oscar ass. It wasn't what expected but another story...

[And Still]

Lets be honest here, the guy right now is a bigger draw than Oscar ever was. Oscar had PPV's that drew **** unless they were against the biggest stars. Floyd even against an average opponent right now would do far better than what Oscar would of done. DLH may have the all time sales because his career popularity started far before Floyds due to his Olympic run but right now Floyd's popularity tops any peak that DLH had. Saturdays fight is comparable to Tito/DLH which did 1.4 million and everyone expect Floyd/Shane to go above that.

Floyd's fight with Shane will do about what Oscar's TWO fights with Shane did combined. Or more.

Nope.

Oscar sold more PPVs and made more money. He also did it for a lot longer than Floyd has been a star. Oscar was the face of boxing and sold a lot of PPVs. People forget Floyd only became a star a few years ago. Compare Oscar's PPVs to Floyd's PPV's.

That's not what I am saying though. Obviously Oscar had a prolonged career but right now at this very moment, Floyd is more popular than Oscar ever was. People want to see him fight, win or lose, they still buy it. The guy is going to go 900k against hatton, 1 million against Marquez, 1.5 million or higher vs Shane, and probably rattle off a few more million buy ppvs and if he fights Pac a fight that could maybe do like 2.5 million. He is more popular than Oscar.

There is no doubt Floyd is the better fighter, but Oscar's image was beyond boxing and that's why he holds the record for the most PPV sales. Oscar is more of a household name than Floyd, so I think Oscar is the bigger draw.

Also think so. Floyd only recently started to go more mainstream. He'll never be the good guy though. That's reserved already.

I dig the 24-7.

But what did Oscar-Pacquiao do? What would Floyd-pacquiao do?

What did mayweather-Marquez do? What would Oscar-Marquez do?

[jrosales13]

Come on ppl, If some **** that nobody asked for like Mayweather/Jmm did 1.1 million what do you think Mayweather/Mosley is gonna do. I think it will do 2mill.

It will do great numbers. And, Floyd is the PPV attraction right now. But, Oscar was a bigger PPV star...

Just look at what Oscar numbers did against Hopkins, Tito, Vargas, Mayorga, and Shane. Now add a 24/7 to that and I think you would see the PPV numbers would of increased by a lot... Especially for Tito, Vargas, Hopkins, and Mayorga

[Drgamma]

Its b/c promotions has changed. Imagine if oscar vs titio was on 24/7. PBF wins the tthe PPV draws via oscar.

[Rushcutters Bay]

I would hesitate to say this because the fight hasn't happened yet. Also De La Hoya fought more often at his peak of popularity and was on PPV more often so this naturally left him with fewer buyers.

In 04 he had two ppv's within 3 months of each other Sturm and then Hopkins.

In 03 he had two ppv's within 4 months of each other Mosely and Campas

Floyd has made it public that he doesn't want to fight that often (I think he said once a year) so each of his fights is in higher demand from his fans.
